life decisions

This site has been in development and in planning stages for a very long time. It's actually part of a larger project to create a website system that will serve a wide number of artists... but more on that soon. I’ve had the website “wheelercreek.com” for very long time, and had been using it for both my art and my web development business. Finally I decided that I needed to break them apart, and have a separate website to showcase and talk about just my art. I've been on a long journey in my struggle to live life as an artist.
